How do I not notice these things? Nested comments were not ordering correctly in the comment threads. Should be fixed now.
I dislike this nested style more and more. I'm not going to remove the option, but I'm thinking of switching my page to flat comments (one sequence of comments, ordered by time posted - no indenting.) I really think that is the better way. If you need to reply to a comment some way up the page, just quote part of that comment in your reply.
Any feelings on this?
aktiom.net is offering linux server colocation, with 40 GB of traffic, for $75 a month. How do they do it?
A common question concerns how we're able to provide such a high-quality service for $75/month. By using powerful hardware combined with a specialized Linux kernel, we can put multiple client servers on one physical machine. This is unlike virtual webhosting in a few ways:I wonder how this works out? Price is right.This is also different from a FreeBSD
- • you have full root access to your Linux system
- • other Aktiom Networks clients are completely partitioned from your data and network traffic
- • you have full access to available hardware resources (i.e. RAM/CPU limits aren't placed on you)
jail()configuration. Users inside a FreeBSD jail are unable to use tools such as ping, traceroute, and tcpdump (they require access to raw sockets), and are limited to one IP address. None of these limitations appear in our solution. Security-conscious people might be wary of allowing tcpdump, but please remember that other server instances are completely partitioned away from your data and network traffic.
The U.S. government has appointed the former head of privacy at Doubleclick - the dot com company with the most sinister privacy track record - as the Department of Homeland Security's first privacy czar.
Don't they even try to convince anyone they are not evil anymore? This would be like hiring the former head of the KGB to advise the department on monitoring U.S. citizens. Oh wait, they already did that.
